I did, however, discover a game that has almost exactly the setting I wanted, called Seventh Sea. I was considering using that, once I can find a bloody copy of the game that's not out of my price range right now; I haven't met someone yet who's familiar with the game so I can pick their brain. My current group is on hiatus while a couple of players deal with family health issues, too, so I haven't done a whole lot beyond make a bunch of notes for the quests. As of now, the structure of the game will be three-fold.1. Random Encounter Piracy. I'll have four tables, probably with a d20 for each, and each one is calculated to have challenges that go up every 4-5 levels or so, so the first table is level 1 through 4 challenges, and so on. There will also be treasure-maps in these encounters, which will be separate side-quests (these maps will be part of booty found by the group when raiding shipping). 2. Pirate Side-Quests. These will be quests that the party can choose to do, or ignore as they see fit. It'll be fetch-quests, steal a certain item, kill a certain person, sink a certain ship, etc. They'll fall into two categories, one that is done as a request (re: order) from the Pirate Lord that the group chooses to serve, and the other being side jobs from different NPCs in the cities around where the game will take place.3. Main-Quest. These will four decently sized adventures, which mirror the difficulties of the Random Encounter Piracy tables. This part would be the biggest problem, as what I had originally planned might or might not work with Seventh Sea, if I decide to go that route. From what I can tell, the setting for Seventh Sea mirrors my own ideas almost exactly, save for the necessity for Mithril (which I stole from Glen Cook's Garrett, P.I. novels anyway). If the original ideas are not, and I decide to go with the Seventh Sea setting (which I do, because it seems just about perfect, even down to there being an inquisition), I'll have to come up with new adventures to fit in with the setting.</blockquote>
